Abstract
A conductive anti-static drive belt includes a first or drive surface having a plurality of tooth formations therein with a land portion formed between each adjacent pair of teeth. The drive surface is provided by a fabric layer having electrically conductive properties. The fabric layer has an interior surface opposite the drive surface. A second surface is provided opposite the drive surface. The second surface is provided by a polymeric body that conforms to and is mated with the interior surface of the fabric layer. At least one tensile reinforcement member is at least partially encased in the polymeric body and extends along the interior surface of the fabric C layer at each land portion throughout a loop formed by the belt. A conductive strand is at least partially encased in the polymeric body and extends along the interior surface of the fabric layer at each land portion.
